This one is called "<b>Taking, Editing &amp; Painting</b>&nbsp;(from)&nbsp;<b>Photo References</b>." Check it out in my <a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/ArtByteGalleryStore/carol-marine-1/">ArtByte Store</a>.<br /><br />In it I share everything I've learned about taking pictures for painting later (vs. simply taking pictures), what your camera isn't capturing and some tricks for overcoming this, what camera to use, how to set your camera, how to edit photos on your computer, and tips for drawing and painting from them. There are no videos, but there is/are tons of info and pictures, including examples of photos I've painted from (and the subsequent paintings). The cost is $10.http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/12/a-google-break.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-6336307612021017941Mon, 05 Dec 2016 02:52:00 +00002016-12-04T18:54:51.086-08:006x6 - oil on gessoboardberlinbikecityscapedoorfallgermanypeopleWalking in Berlin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bsTsxMWlmvk/WETV_tNPHkI/AAAAAAAALOQ/cERGUPjUZ5MqLr8Wr73N67wqzJTMhc5LgCLcB/s1600/2438_walking_in_berlin_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bsTsxMWlmvk/WETV_tNPHkI/AAAAAAAALOQ/cERGUPjUZ5MqLr8Wr73N67wqzJTMhc5LgCLcB/s400/2438_walking_in_berlin_LG.jpg" width="396" /></a></div><a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/629884"><br /></a><a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/629884">Click Here to Bid</a> (6x6in.)<br /><br />This is another scene from Berlin. It was the end of fall there, and the last of the color was still clinging to the trees.

And now for a few paintings from Berlin. This first one was a common sight there. Apparently most of Berlin was destroyed during WW2 and was rebuilt afterwards, so most of the buildings are relatively new, and similar. We walked around a lot while we were there, and everywhere we went my son said, "I think we've been here before."http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/12/red-door.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-7992088863320669055Sat, 26 Nov 2016 10:03:00 +00002016-11-26T02:21:07.220-08:006x6 - oil on gessoboardbowlcupglassmetalpearstill lifeMartini Before Lunch?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6yA5xCrbWr8/WDlWDbh4b6I/AAAAAAAALIs/REzuKz4RBTQfEo0XY7-7UpulTo2DsFO0wCLcB/s1600/2436_martini_before_lunch_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6yA5xCrbWr8/WDlWDbh4b6I/AAAAAAAALIs/REzuKz4RBTQfEo0XY7-7UpulTo2DsFO0wCLcB/s400/2436_martini_before_lunch_LG.jpg" width="396" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/626761">Click Here to Bid</a> (6x6in.)<br /><br />Painting this was an odd experience. When I was arranging the objects, I was really frustrated because I didn't think they looked all that great together. I decided to paint them anyway, because it was the end of the day and I was tired of arranging and re-arranging. And I ended up liking the painted version WAY better than the real life version! How can I make this happen again?<br /><br />And no, I don't drink martini's before lunch. Not even while on vacation in Germany. : ) This is the last painting I will post here - I'll be home on December 1st (unless the Lufthansa strike continues).http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/11/martini-before-lunch.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-7141464677550248704Fri, 25 Nov 2016 10:13:00 +00002016-11-25T02:15:22.492-08:006x6 - oil on gessoboardcupspearplatespoonstackstill lifeA Little Lie Down<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dyAN0kCRuns/WDgN3t7kl5I/AAAAAAAALIc/hSzmvz7PqHsrHq4K7ZwX3Opb-d8F-5fGgCLcB/s1600/2435_a_little_lie_down_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dyAN0kCRuns/WDgN3t7kl5I/AAAAAAAALIc/hSzmvz7PqHsrHq4K7ZwX3Opb-d8F-5fGgCLcB/s400/2435_a_little_lie_down_LG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/626390">Click Here to Bid</a> (6x6in.)<br /><br />Happy belated Thanksgiving!

I thought I might get some good photos in Berlin, but the weather was mostly gray and dreary, and I wasn't feeling inspired. I did manage to go out one day by myself for a few hours when the sun was sort of around, and got a handful of photos. Most of them I think will work better as references for larger paintings, and I only brought small panels. But I had a few extra still lifes when I left home, so that's what I've been posting. I hope I remembered to throw the actual pears away before I left - otherwise I'll find them decomposing in my studio when I return!http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/11/ambitious-pear.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-6244388361071773730Sun, 20 Nov 2016 19:26:00 +00002016-11-20T11:28:48.760-08:006x6 - oil on gessoboardpearsplatestill lifeHangin' Mostly Out<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HkrEkR2i_50/WDHgqZCBqyI/AAAAAAAALHo/8OgAAZ7UYW8BTTF9l0wJnxlb4HiW4MvtACLcB/s1600/2433_hangin_mostly_out_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HkrEkR2i_50/WDHgqZCBqyI/AAAAAAAALHo/8OgAAZ7UYW8BTTF9l0wJnxlb4HiW4MvtACLcB/s400/2433_hangin_mostly_out_LG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/624736">Click Here to Bid</a> (6x6in.)<br /><br />While we are here in Germany, we find ourselves needing to understand a lot of German. Duh. Since I don't know all the words (understatement of the year), I end up letting the German sort of wash over me, and trying to get the gist, looking up words when I'm lost. By the end of the day my brain is spilling out of my ears. I'm sleeping 10 hours at night and still exhausted by 8pm!<br /><br />We are here for one more week and then we begin the long journey home. 1 day in the train. 1 day in the plane.

After painting this one above, I did this other version where all the colors are in the right family, but the values are mostly wrong. You can see how the colors are still interesting, but nothing holds together - the scene is only vaguely 3-dimensional. Honestly, I could have (and meant to) push it a lot further (make the values WAY wrong), but my brain pushed back against it. I will try again someday.<br /><br />Value is the number ONE thing I end up helping my students with. If you want your painting to look 3-D, you've got to get the values right.http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/11/just-one-shot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-2546816527761788003Thu, 10 Nov 2016 08:55:00 +00002016-11-10T00:58:18.704-08:0010"x10" - oil on panelapplesbottlesglassknifepaperplatestill lifeApple Bottle Battle<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rkKNds961Jg/WCQzAaA8o8I/AAAAAAAALGc/dC0PluaT1qo6-cpfm_baZACzh9sVu6dOQCLcB/s1600/2431_apple_bottle_battle_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rkKNds961Jg/WCQzAaA8o8I/AAAAAAAALGc/dC0PluaT1qo6-cpfm_baZACzh9sVu6dOQCLcB/s400/2431_apple_bottle_battle_LG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/carol-marine/apple-bottle-battle/533265">Click Here to Buy</a></b> (10x10in. - $600 - free shipping - <span style="color: #f9cb9c;">still won't be able to ship until December</span>)<br /><br />Hello from Germany!

I ended up having to repaint the foreground a couple of times.

After about three days we realized - there wasn't one! So we just started painting, not wherever, but in what I would consider <i>semi</i>-perfect spots. What I got out of it, mostly, were notes. Notes on color and value. I also took a lot of photos. And between my notes and the photos, I will be able to do some finished pieces. Like this one, which I am quite proud of.http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/10/rocks-in-river.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-7592799802176151229Sat, 29 Oct 2016 03:19:00 +00002016-11-26T02:22:36.132-08:006x12" oil on gessobordcoloradolandscapepathtreeColorado Color<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlHZCuYSHlA/WBQTZq2iTzI/AAAAAAAAK-I/x7jMj2mUIbsFhw_W-mlss2eILxIRZ3oVwCLcB/s1600/2428_colorado_color_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlHZCuYSHlA/WBQTZq2iTzI/AAAAAAAAK-I/x7jMj2mUIbsFhw_W-mlss2eILxIRZ3oVwCLcB/s400/2428_colorado_color_LG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;">sold</span>.

I had just learned about galkyd, and so experimented with this painting. I love galkyd! I actually painted the house and yellow bushes first, just to make sure I got those in before the light changed, but then I painted in the trees. And then all the pond stuff. So by the time I put in the distant mountains and sky, the paint on the trees was tacky enough not to make mud where they touched. This is a solution to a problem I've had <i>forever </i>with landscape painting!!<br /><br />Also, here are all my kids (and me, and 2 of our illustrious hosts) from my San Antonio, Texas workshop last week.

(6x6in.)<br /><br />Recently I experimented for the first time with Galkyd. It makes paint dry a little faster, which I found is especially useful for landscape block-ins. Specifically I have used it to block in the dark masses of trees, so that when it comes time to put in the light sky the colors don't mush together at the margins and make so much mud! This has been quite enlightening! So I've been experimenting with Galkyd in still lifes too, and blocking-in there as well. I don't have answers yet, still just lots of questions. But I'm having fun.http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2016/10/no-personal-space.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Marine)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-8259688506307805586Fri, 07 Oct 2016 04:46:00 +00002016-11-26T02:24:12.362-08:006x6 - oil on gessoboardbowlscupsfabricspoonstill lifeOverprotective<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yq-2g69-H1g/V_clANHEONI/AAAAAAAAK5Y/YV_sXpP5r_MhR93EBYlud7RoIcf1IpAmACLcB/s1600/2422_overprotective_LG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yq-2g69-H1g/V_clANHEONI/AAAAAAAAK5Y/YV_sXpP5r_MhR93EBYlud7RoIcf1IpAmACLcB/s400/2422_overprotective_LG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;">sold</span>.
